5.2 MIG/MAG welding
5.2.1 Wire thread
The wire inching function is used for potential- and gas-free inching of the wire electrode after the wire
spool change. By pressing and holding the wire inching button for a long time, the wire inching speed in-
creases in a ramp function (special parameter P1
> see 5.10.1.1 chapter
) from 1 m/min to the set maxi-
mum value. The maximum value is set by simultaneously pressing the wire inching button and turning the
left click wheel.

5.2.2 Wire return
The wire return function is used to retract the wire electrode without tension and protection gas. By simul-
taneously pressing and holding the wire inching and gas test buttons, the wire return speed increases in a
ramp function (special parameter P1
> see 5.10.1.1 chapter
) from 1 m/min to the set maximum value.
The maximum value is set by simultaneously pressing the wire inching button and turning the left click
wheel.
During the process, the wire spool must be turned by hand clockwise to wind up the wire electrode again.
